Chapter 377: Longwu Drumming
The heavy armored cavalry rushed out of Li Guo's formation, and the number of losses was much larger than the first time, leaving less than 800 horsemen, the reason for this, in addition to the premature pursuit of the Ming army, was because the heavy cavalry was too heavy, and every time they rushed, they would consume a lot of physical strength.
Although the war horses and knights are the most elite existences in the Qing army, they have poor staying power and cannot fight continuously, which is also a major defect of heavy cavalry.
Under normal circumstances, the heavy cavalry can rush three times, but now it has penetrated the Ming formation twice, and the endurance of the Ming army has reached the limit, and the physical strength of the heavy cavalry has also consumed most of it.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Yan did not stop Yuan Zongdi from chasing and killing, more than two thousand were marked, three breads were heavy armor, and they were smashed violently.
"General, the Qing army's light cavalry is coming up~"
A thousand households of the Ming army, the moment he saw the Ming army chasing out, the light cavalry that was attacking in front of the Ming army immediately caught up, wanting to rescue the heavy horseman, and suddenly said in a hurry.
Yuan Zongdi raised his head and saw the Qing cavalry who came to meet him with a bow and arrows, he frowned, and did not divide his troops to intercept them, but ordered loudly: "Don't let these miscellaneous pieces hit the big array again, don't care about the light cavalry, and kill them all first!" \u000bBolo issued an order flag, asking the guerrilla light cavalry to go to meet the heavy cavalry, but he didn't expect that the Ming cavalry would not pay attention to the Qing light cavalry at all, and would rather be shot off the war horse one by one, but also to crush all the heavy cavalry in the inner circle to death.
The Ming army is exchanging lives for lives!
At this moment, at the gap in the left flank that had just been broken by the heavy armor, Wang Shixiu led five thousand cavalry to rush out and kill the Qing light cavalry surrounding Yuan Zongdi, and the two sides fought in a circle, the innermost was the Qing army's heavy armor, then Yuan Zongdi, then the Qing army's light cavalry, and finally Wang Shixiu.
Several cavalrymen set large traps and small circles, firing bows and arrows at each other while moving towards the clear formation.
Bolo's face couldn't help but change when he saw this, the Ming army and the Qing army were five miles apart, and now several cavalry teams were killing together at the interval between the two armies, which also blocked the road.
The river valley is only ten miles wide, so the Qing army can only send 4,000 cavalry to attack each time before the light cavalry, the place is too narrow, it is really not conducive to the cavalry detour, there are many people and horses, it will definitely not be able to turn around, and it will inevitably directly hit the Ming army.
This is also the reason why Wang Yan felt incredible when he saw Bolo put the cavalry in front.
At this time, the cavalry fighting in the middle blocked most of the roads at once, Wang Yan immediately raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly ordered: "Order, the front army and the left and right wings are all pressed up." ”
When Long Wu saw this, he was shocked, the Ming army was still passively beaten just now, and he had been on the defensive, why now?
Is Wang Yan going to launch a counteroffensive? But~but~ Emperor Longwu looked around, there were still 2,000 Qing army light cavalry in the Ming army, the battle situation was so chaotic, is this too risky?
Longwu is a good book, and he also dabbles in military books, otherwise he would not dare to go to King Qin when he was young.
He was a little worried about Wang Yan's decision, if the army pressed, then the army formation would inevitably loosen in the movement, in case the Qing cavalry rushed over, even if it was a light cavalry, the consequences would be unimaginable~
Long Wu was very anxious, but he was still a king who knew people well, and knew that his military attainments were definitely not as good as Wang Yan, a battle-hardened general, so he didn't say anything to stop him.
At this time, he looked at the battlefield, the Ming sergeant was ordered to move forward, and he was surprised to find that his Qing cavalry had been blocked by the cavalry fighting between the two armies.
"Yes, that's the chance!" Longwu suddenly realized that the battlefield was narrow, Wang Yan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the road being blocked, and compressed the activity space of the Qing cavalry forward, as long as the two armies were close, the cavalry lost the roundabout place, and could not even raise the speed, and it was bound to be the opponent of the strict infantry army.
"Drum hammer~" Long Wu figured it out, and immediately rose with pride, stretched out his arms, and shouted: "I want to beat the drum for the army!"
Wang Yan and many chess and card officials on the car heard this, and their hearts were shocked, and a civil official accompanying him immediately burst into tears and trembled: "Your Majesty~"
At this time, the chess and card officer presented a pair of drum hammers to him, and Emperor Longwu strode out a few times, walked to the side of the car, waved the drum hammer with his right arm, and a drum sound that shook the heartstrings exploded with this blow!
Emperor Longwu opened his bow left and right, and the drum hammer made a sound that urged people to forge ahead.
"Knock~Knock~Knock~" Everyone who heard this sound suddenly felt their hearts beat faster! A blood rushed to the top of his head!\u000bLongwu is not only cheering for the army, but also issuing an inner cry, this is a king who is determined to restore the ancestral country, send out the cry of recovering the rivers and mountains and realizing the prosperity of the empire~
"Look~ Your Majesty is cheering us on! Brothers, kill!" The officers who discovered the situation couldn't help but be excited, shouting loudly, giving the soldiers great courage!\u000b "Rise up, rise up, recover my rivers and mountains, save my comrades~"
The Ming army is boiling! The infantry soldiers who were rushed by the heavy cavalry had a feeling of finally getting out of the sea of suffering, they picked up their equipment, lined up in a neat formation, followed the rhythm of the drums, pushed forward, and sang loudly, "The majestic man, the rivers and mountains will be restored, the hatred of the two capitals, the sea is difficult to peace, there are five loyalties, who fights for power!" ”
The large array of the Ming army, which was originally passively beaten, except for more than 2,000 cavalry and thousands of infantry troops who were still fighting around the 2,000 light cavalry of the Eight Banners trapped in the formation, suddenly came alive and turned into a huge wave towards the Qing army.
Wang Yan's previous strategy was to play a defensive counterattack, first frustrating the enemy's spirit with a strong position, and then swinging the army to counterattack.
When the Qing army was first engaged, the war drums and horns of the Qing army, including Bolo, were boosting the morale of the Qing army, while the Ming army was in a state of depression.
Now when the Qing army's heavy cavalry did not defeat the Ming army twice in a row, the morale naturally disappeared, and the Ming army was encouraged by the drumming of Emperor Longwu, coupled with the previous suppression, and suddenly broke out, immediately forming a shocking momentum.
Bolo had already seen the changes in the battlefield, and a general beside him also saw the changes in the battle situation, and hurriedly reminded: "Lord Belle, the Ming army~"
Before the general finished speaking, he was glared at by Bolo, and had to stop abruptly, Bolo's face was completely distorted, he really didn't expect Wang Yan to seize such a small opportunity to attack blatantly! At present, his cavalry is blocked from the way of impact, unable to attack the pressing Ming infantry army, and as long as the Ming army compresses the distance between the two armies to two miles, then his cavalry will completely lose the space for maneuver, if it is closer, the Eight Banners will be forced to death.
The light cavalry that could not run, the light cavalry who could not make a detour, could only be slaughtered.
The narrow terrain of the river valley is really not suitable for cavalry combat, Bolo put the cavalry in front, and the back of the cavalry was blocked by the green battalion and Zheng's troops to retreat, and now the Ming army pressed forward, and the cavalry would immediately be forced to have no room for movement.
At present, Bolo has only two choices, either take advantage of the distance of the Ming army and the cavalry rush forward desperately, or let the cavalry retreat and transfer the infantry to prepare for battle, but both methods are obviously risky.
The river valley was too narrow, and nearly 100,000 horses had to rearrange the narrow river valley, which obviously took a lot of time and caused chaos, and the Ming army had already approached four miles away.
